Smokin’ Ts Ranch Dip

Cool, creamy ranch with a bold, smoky twist.

This isn’t your average ranch. We’ve taken the classic cool-and-creamy dip and given it a serious flavor upgrade with the bold, naturally smoked punch of Smokin’ Ts. Whether you’re serving it with crispy wings, fresh veggies, or loaded potato wedges, this dip brings a hit of smoky goodness in every bite—and takes only 5 minutes to make.

🧾 Ingredients:

• 1 cup sour cream (or Greek yogurt for a lighter option)
• 1 tablespoon ranch seasoning mix (homemade or from a packet)
• 1½ tablespoons Smokin’ Ts Original or With a Kick
• 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
• ½ teaspoon garlic powder (optional, for extra depth)
• Pinch of freshly ground black pepper
• Chives or green onions, finely chopped (optional garnish)

👨‍🍳 Instructions:

1. Mix it all together:
   In a medium bowl, combine the sour cream, ranch seasoning, Smokin’ Ts, lemon juice, garlic powder (if using), and black pepper. Stir until smooth and well blended.
2. Chill (optional but recommended):
   Cover and refrigerate for at least 15–30 minutes to let the flavors meld. The smoky flavor intensifies slightly as it sits.
3. Garnish and serve:
   Top with chopped chives or green onions for color and crunch. Serve with veggies, chips, or use as a bold topping for burgers, baked potatoes, or grilled chicken.

🔥 Why It Works:

• The creamy base cools and balances the smoky heat of Smokin’ Ts
• Ranch seasoning keeps it familiar and kid-friendly
• A hint of lemon juice adds just the right brightness

🌟 Tips & Variations:

• For a dip with a kick: Use Smokin’ Ts With a Kick and add a dash of hot sauce or cayenne.
• Make it dressing: Thin it out with 2–3 tbsp milk or buttermilk and shake well.
• Add texture: Mix in finely chopped pickles, bacon bits, or roasted red pepper.
